Transformers Legacy Metroplex was recently found in the US. This is a toy that many fans are not sure to buy and it is the first Titan Class figure not to represent something tied to the G1 era. So a review could come in handy. We have one for you from our fellow Seibertronian Lore Keeper, enjoy!

I haven't figured out how to get the video in the post yet.

M'eh - Legacy Metroplex still isn't my cup o'tea. I wish the reviewer had given us some close-ups of the figure though, so we could get a better look, and a lot of the details that might otherwise have been visible were washed out by the lighting. They were kind of ginger in demonstrating the articulation. I get the impression that the robot mode should be capable of some pretty dynamic poses, but they didn't show much beyond a standard T pose...

Most of Amazon's exclusive Transformers Wreckers line, known as the Legacy Wreck N' Rule line, has been shipped to those who preordered them. Not all fans have picked them up and for those waiting to see some reviews, well we have that for you now. Most of the reviews below are from fellow Seibertronians like Chuckdawg and Thundertron so we thank you for creating this content and reaching out to us. If you want more review from them, they post reviews regularly in our Review Forum.

Enjoy!

Twin Twist

Springer

Impactor and Spindle

Bulkhead

preferring the Legacy version of Impactor just for the slight retooling to have a better andflatter place for the faction symbol -makes it easier to stick on a regular autobot symbol too.

Get it if you dont have all the millions of other Impactors. Funny how he went from having one toy to so many so fast.

I am happy with Twin Twist, I plan to get Springer and Bulkhead, and I guess I should get Impactor/Spindle and Leadfoot/Masterdominus

I appreciate the feedback. I do apologize for the lighting issue. My camera struggles with filming in that location and likes to go overboard when automatically adjusting for the lighting. Also, you're right. I should have shown a better range of poses for the toy. Definitely food for thought for next time.

A good review. It gets the point across well enough. Cyberplex looks cool. But he's another one, like Black Zarak, that I have no association with or affinity for. So I'll stick to the default four City Bots for now.

I mean, "dynamic poses" is relative with the City Bots as it is. Which is why I keep them in City Modes and display smaller figures on them.

Ouch
All this talk of copyright law is making my head hurt
All I know is we WILL be getting deluxe insecticons, somehow
If we got ransack Hasbro will make more
If they won't customizers will do It for them...

Customisers will do it for themselves, and maybe other people on commission but they'll be far from mass produced.

Thanks - hope it didn't come across as snarky in any way. We reviewers tend to rely too much on negative vs. constructive criticism

.

I know about hypersensitive cameras. I myself need to upgrade my lighting systems, but I'm just so lazy...

How does the Legacy Metroplex balance when you put it in a strong pose? How's the center of gravity? Can you tilt the feet such that it will hold a pose if the legs/feet are planted far apart? I suspect the 'short' version of the bot is stable on his feet, just because he's more compact and has less that might overbalance him. Got any screenshots of a really good action pose where he's swinging his scooper weapon?
